Birth of a small girl obtained by cloning, according to the sect of the raéliens
Friday December 27, 2002 - 1h49 GMT
MIAMI (the United States), 26 déc (AFP) - the scientist Frenchwoman and member of the sect of the raéliens Brigitte Boisselier affirmed Thursday evening with the AFP to have put at the world a baby obtained by the technique of the cloning.
The baby, a small girl, came in the world "today" (Thursday) by Caesarean. "Ca they passed very well", was restricted to affirm Mrs. Boisselier, president of the company of human cloning Clonaid, joined by telephone in Miami (Florida, south-east of the United States).
The effort of the raéliens to put at the world the first cloné baby having been realized in the greatest secrecy, it was not possible, in the absence of a scientific publication in the code of practice, to obtain for the moment an unspecified independent scientific confirmation that the baby was well a clone.
Questioned on the circumstances of this birth, it scientific Frenchwoman refused to give further information immediately more, in particular the birthplace.
"I prefer not in saying more for the moment", has it says, by adding that it would make a public presentation Friday in Florida.
It did not specify either if it would introduce the baby at this occasion.
November 27, Mrs. Boisselier had indicated to the AFP that this birth was awaited by an American couple.
If this birth were confirmed of independent scientific source, it would be about the first baby obtained by the discussed technique of the human cloning and whose birth will have been publicly announced.

Born without a human soul. Scary.
Will it be able to breed? Scarier!

Why would anyone do this to their own child?
If they didn't, there wouldn't be this child.
Now, not only is every sperm sacred, but so
is every strand of human DNA. Hmmm.

Once you get past Babyageddon, an arm seems harmless.

Got any idea of what day? Because was born on June 26th and it'd be kind of neat to think that I was born on the same day as Jesus.
Which, I suppose, would make ME the Anti-Christ (Something which my Philosophy teacher in high school actually said of me, once). Nevermind, then...

Correct on both counts. The sheep Dolly was predicated by tens of mutants that didn't survive - on the order of 100. If the same technology was employed we would expect at least a similar number of human irregular mutants. These are my primary scientific arguments against cloning.
